Q

Factors affecting dye binding

A
  • pH – it determines dye binding; there are stains that are
    acidic, basic, and neutral.
  • Temperature – increase in temperature also increases the
    rate of staining.
  • Concentration of the dye – more concentration, more
    binding.
  • Salts – it may increase or decrease binding because it has
    a tendency that competes with the dye in its binding site.
  • Chemical groups in the tissue (e.g., amino group –
    formaldehyde) – it can alter staining character of the tissue. `
